Dhaka
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Dhaka General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $900 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $820 • Fitting and training sessions: $15 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Babu

  1. We're at 71% thanks to 13 of you. the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($515 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 33% funded and I made the first payment toward cochlear implant processor upgrade.
